Brits don’t take nonsense from their leaders like Americans do...

[timmsgirl]

This is how the U.S. should operate. Don’t take BS off leaders that are corrupt. Kick them out.

[eholey]

The UK got it so right! They knew what to do with a hot mess! Shameful the USA couldn't step up & take notes., Maybe

[Mayur]

The British seem to have a limit to what they'll tolerate from their politicians; wish we had that here in the States.

[joerogain]

At least BoJo Boris Johnson has the common sense and decency to read the writing on the wall and to resign and relinquish POWER unlike his look-a-like, Donald tRump!

The country was on lockdown and his staff was having multiple parties. No way are people going to dismiss that in the end.

1:57 "The whole thing is becoming like a reality TV show" We had our own Boris Johnson, Trump. The Man Karen of all presidents, reality TV show drama maker, and influencing insurrection against the capitol and still dealing his cards in the background like some cry baby immature man... oh wait, that's exactly what he is.

All you Republikaens can make fun of Biden (or Democrats can make fun of Biden too, but the Republikarens are gonna jump on the hate way worse) but you know very well the stunts Trump pulled and his cocky/never wrong attitude, he was a man baby through and through, Tweets all kinds of drama and like a reality TV Show to stir up crap, like he's eager to hang onto his ratings and gets all giddy over causing confliction, but Trump was too hard headed (not smart/no dignity) to not resign, to admit defeat, thinking he's the best and everything and everyone is fake/wrong who opposes against him, like as if that's seriously who should remotely be leading the U.S,

And don't get me wrong Biden isn't mr perfect and we can do better, but anyone and anybody was better than Trump, just like they say about Boris Johnson that anyone was better than him, just wish America took lessons and had Trump resign like Johnson did, instead of lingering on and making a crap show of our nation upon leaving office and as he continues to show it and his whole Republikaren party even after their loss and are just going to make a mockery of our nation up until 2024 where im quite sure they are just going to outdo themselves in some ridiculous/over the drama shenanigans and go lower than they did in 2020/2021

See GOP this is how it’s done … country before party . Good for you Brits

[iankaranja]

I'm not pro or anti Johnson per se but I'm really reassured that the UK is still sane compared to what's happening in other places where it seems anyone can do or say whatever they want to.

Congratulations to UK 🇬🇧 love from Canada 🇨🇦

Why didn't this happen to Drumpf?! He has absolutely ZERO personal integrity or ability to govern. His entire term in office was like a reality TV show.

[buckthrusthorn]

This would have been best case scenario for trump if he would have resigned and went straight to prison. It would have prevented the deadly January 6th insurrection and the pandemic.

Brit opposition leader called the conservative party: "only case that the ship leaves the rat" or "charge of the light weight brigade"

[scrappygirl]

At least the British step down from their leadership with scandal. So much different from the United States. Our firmer leader will try to hang on even when the people do not want him.

[ricnyc]

Congrats to the UK. This is the way it should be done: out with the corrupt and liars.

[peziki]

So this shows us the U.K. citizens are far more sensible than Trump's followers. Bully for them and Boo for the U.S. The lesson learned: Dig out and get rid of the malignancy.

[gregknipe]

the British have a better system for dealing with clowns. how odd we both had a Donald at the same time.

[junheceta]

"Larry the Downing Street Cat would make a better Prime Minister than Boris Johnson."

The most richly deserved and humiliating downfall of a British PM since Neville Chamberlain.

I admire the British for so many things, not the least of which is their refusal to tolerate incompetent and dishonest politicians. America should take notes.

The Queen is having 2 G&Ts tonight to celebrate not having to meet him again!

[spinningbackkick]

They really got his ass the fuck out of there. 😂🤣
